Cam Zink at Mammoth Mountain in Mammoth, California, United States - photo by stupendousman

Back in august when Cam stomped his 100ft. backflip in Mammoth... nice memories! Shot as second angle with a 80mm tilt/shift, just because I thought it would be a funny idea :) thanks Frithjof for the cam and lens!

POD Photo of the Day on May 21, 2015

Selected by Scott Secco - I'd been wanting to see an angle that captured the size of Zink's World Record backflip and I think that Lars nailed it here. Tilt shift was a great call for this photo as it creates such an ethereal perspective to the image, it looks very surreal.

The depth of field makes it look like a little model

Its a photography technique called miniature faking: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_faking

I thought it was a tiltshift lens but then again I don't know much about those. Either way, I'm not a big fan of the effect - looks too unnatural for my liking!

Agreed! It was kinda cool 10 years ago, but no more!

Eh that's like saying black and white is old now. Its a different way to show a photo and I think it was done very properly in this. This is such a cool shot and it makes you just focus on zink and the enormous size of that jump.

Looks like he fell from the sky.

That's such a fun game!

scotttherider (May 21, 2015 at 6:36)

Think he's committed to it yet?

Argyll (May 21, 2015 at 8:46)

Don't like the tilt/shift effect at all.

How does he sit down?

stevekc (May 21, 2015 at 20:32)

Is his bike hooked on the chair lift

Going for the worlds biggest MTB jump and biggest flip all in one go?

Rookrider (May 21, 2015 at 1:42)

thats when he thinks ohh sh*t

wipz07 (May 21, 2015 at 14:36)

it would have been a shame if the fest guys took down the record in the first year of fest without all the hype about a single jump

andreu did a backflip on a 60ft double at Nico's invitational. Cam Zink back-flipped 100ft.
